Forget the clichéd, “Will it run Crysis?” joke. In a few months from now, everyone will be making the same jokes, but with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at the butt end. Developer CD Projekt Red revealed the system requirements for the open-world game’s Windows PC version today, and as you might have expected, they’re not for the faint of heart. This game better be good; not that its predecessors were any bad.
